Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 145 Secrets

Truman, dressed in the ducal robes prepared by Solomon, once again arrived at the Byron Palace.

The Kingdom of Byron is unusually "lively" today.

"This is truly bizarre." Truman exclaimed, looking at the ghosts and phantoms walking on the ground, "No wonder he's called 'Death'!"

These are all formed from the souls of those who once believed in death and were devout enough.

They had long since died, but today, "Death" truly revealed its power of "death," pulling the ghosts of these dead back to the present world to reunite with their loved ones.

Of course, in Truman's eyes, these souls all carried the aura of the underworld, and were most likely pulled into the underworld after death and are now returning to reality.

Correspondingly, Truman also sensed the presence of the underworld. It was as if countless tentacles of the underworld, deep within the spirit realm, were reaching out and connecting with Byron.

Such ghosts are everywhere, wandering every corner of the capital of Byron, waiting for the founding ceremony while reuniting with their families.

"You can only see this kind of scene here," Amon exclaimed in amazement.

"This is a true miracle!"

When the Solomon Empire was founded, Solomon was merely a figure manifested in the hearts of the people, and the intangible rules were distorted. The scene before us was far more awe-inspiring than what we are witnessing now.

"Blurring the line between life and death, establishing the authority of the underworld—this is a missionary effort personally undertaken by a true god," Pales concluded after talking with a ghost who passed by.

After these ghosts appeared, the Kingdom of Byron fell into a certain degree of chaos, but soon, the entire empire's faith in the "Grim Reaper" exploded.

Once it is proven that one can truly go to the realm of the gods after death, these Bairan citizens will have less fear of death, and their faith will become more steadfast.

"Duke of Dreams." The Death Archon appeared in full regalia to greet Truman and his party at the Byron Palace.

"The ceremony is about to begin. Please take your seats."

Truman and the others did not have to wait long. At the moment when day and night were changing and the sun was rising, a dark and faint aura came from the underworld.

These dark and faint auras seeped out from every corner of the world, gradually forming a torrent that obscured the rising sun, plunging the entire world back into silent darkness!

The rising sun could not penetrate the darkness, and "Death" created a world most suitable for ghosts to exist.

In such a world, the living and the dead dance together, seemingly gaining temporary peace and joy.

The Grim Reaper, also known as the "Sleeper," possesses unparalleled abilities in this regard.

At that very moment, "Death" Salinger manifested in the high heavens with the underworld, leaving all humans and ghosts utterly shocked.

This is also the first time the underworld has appeared in the world of the living in this way.

"Bailan will be my earthly kingdom, and all my devout citizens may enter the underworld, where they will never perish."

"Death be above!" Salinger descended with a divine miracle, pure light floating from the heads of every believer, gradually converging into a vast galaxy.

An invisible force spread out like ripples on the surface of water, and the power of the "Eternal Sleeper" settled into the hearts of every believer.

All believers experienced a brief period of peace, tranquility of mind and body, and were no longer tainted by any worldly dust.

But this process did not last long, and many believers who broke free from that state of peace developed a fervent pursuit of it.

"Death" Salinger emerges from the underworld and ascends the long staircase to the throne. His magnificent divine robes are adorned with wisps of deathly aura, making him mysterious and awe-inspiring.

This is an epic scene.

"Huh? I found a 'Cherarch' trait." A soft exclamation broke the solemnity.

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice, which came from the Dream Duke of the Solomon Empire.

Many popes and angels from various churches who were attending the ceremony felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had seen something terrifying.

The Pope of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" was particularly visibly shaken.

The characteristics of the "Cherubim" are almost entirely controlled by the Church!

Ignoring all gazes, Truman was moved and looked towards the Northern Continent. Through the dreamlike light, he saw Hermes, the "Angel of Knowledge."

In an instant, Truman understood what the "Angel of Knowledge" was doing.

"Analyzing the Dream Path? Imitating my abilities?"

Truman chuckled to himself. In fact, it was feasible; the powers he bestowed were real and could be copied, recorded, and imitated.

However, the scale of the "Dream" path is completely different from other single paths.

If the power of other paths is likened to a line, then the "dream" path is a tangled ball of four lines, which is too much pressure for the recorder and the imitator.

And a Sequence 2 Cherubim wants to imitate the Child of Illusion?

impossible!

The four sequences following the demigod in "Dream" are all unique and powerful enough, requiring a great deal of effort from Truman. They are not so easily imitated.

"Overestimating yourself." Truman slowly shook his head, waved his hand to turn the "Angel of Knowledge" into a palm-sized doll, and bent down to pick it up.

"What you don't want is mine!" Truman stuffed the doll into his pocket and looked at the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church camp.

The Pope, who had met Truman once, looked grim. He had seen the true nature of Truman's puppet, but dared not speak.

"Could the Dream Duke exchange that doll for mine?" "Death" Salinger's gaze fell upon this, his voice gentle yet majestic, perfectly suited to the position of emperor.

"No," Truman refused outright.

This act of openly discrediting the "Grim Reaper" caused the scene to fall silent once again, and many angels felt a strong sense of crisis.

The two true gods locked eyes, each with their own confidence. But at a certain moment, Truman's brow twitched slightly, as if he sensed something.

But before that, "Death" had already made his move.

Death's eyes flashed, and a power was drawn to him. Truman was slightly taken aback. "So it's a pledge of allegiance..."

Truman did not resist; his figure was erased by a hidden force.

The "secret" authority of the "Goddess of the Night"!

At the same time, Hermes suddenly lost his sense of dreams, and the next moment he looked up sharply and saw a brass-colored eye.

This eye is countless times more terrifying than the "All-Knowing Eye" of the "Angel of Knowledge" before. All of Hermes' secrets are seen by this one eye!

A faint light flickered within, frantically analyzing the knowledge contained within.

"God of knowledge and wisdom..." Hermes faced the deity, speechless with fear.

This is all about exploiting a time difference, analyzing the "Dream" path before "Dream" emerges from "Hidden".

This can both allow them to gain a deeper understanding of "dream" and even create discord between "night" and "dream".

The gods still had doubts about the relationship between "Dream" and "Night," which is why they joined forces to force "Night" to take action against "Dream"!
